JEKTA has established partnerships with two companies to support operations of its PHA-ZE 100 zero-emissions amphibious aircraft.
The Swiss manufacturer has selected Aerovy for maintenance software and Advanced Technology Assurance (ATA) for insurance services.
Aerovy will provide its software platform to collect and analyze data for aircraft health monitoring and predictive maintenance.
The US-based software company specializes in aerospace, infrastructure and energy transition sectors.
“With amphibian aircraft that operate on water, paved and unpaved runways, the ability to monitor aircraft performance and facilitate predictive maintenance will enable operators to reduce downtime and optimize operations,” said Nick Gunady, chief executive officer of Aerovy.
“Our Spectra platform will enable JEKTA to better support operators regularly flying in remote or environmentally challenging environments, reducing maintenance-related downtime and supporting consistent revenue generation.”
The partnership with UK-based ATA will develop insurance products for the amphibious aviation sector. PHA-ZE 100 customers will receive access to competitive insurance and risk underwriting products through a preferred provider relationship.
“The tailored insurance policies being defined for JEKTA customers will give operators confidence in the product and support access to what is traditionally a challenging element for aircraft operators and owners of amphibian aviation,” said Alistair Blundy, chief executive officer and lead underwriter, ATA.
“With this relationship in place, customers will have more certainty around direct operating costs and know that their asset is sufficiently protected.”
These agreements complement JEKTA’s existing partnerships, which include a global leasing entity and a hydrogen propulsion partner. “We are building a portfolio of operational support that will attract customers seeking an amphibian aircraft that is delivered with a connected network of partners,” said Alafinov.
“We are excited to keep expanding this portfolio in parallel with the aircraft development, which is gaining momentum.”
The software will help operators manage budgets through enhanced operational and maintenance decision-making. ATA will provide updates on market trends, advanced technologies in aerospace, and insurance requirements for amphibious aircraft.
